# Update work plan AI agent

This AI agent receives structured plan data from the orchestrator, constructs a valid JSON payload, and updates the finalized work plan in the database.

## Workflow

The agent helps users complete tasks related to update work plan.

1.  Receive the structured plan data from the orchestrator \(tasks with all fields, including next\_step\).
2.  Construct a JSON payload matching the exact database schema.
3.  Validate the JSON syntax and schema compliance.
4.  If validation fails, identify and repair issues.
5.  Persist the plan to the database.
6.  Retry up to 3 times on failure.
7.  Return success or error status to orchestrator.
